ShopComposition | Composition | Outfitting Designers Since 2003
by sbrothier
Composition started as my way to express and share a passion for design. It started a little over 5 years ago with a 450 square foot space in lower downtown Denver. It was a terrible retail location but I guess I was so optimistic and naive that I didn't know any better. I think my sheer exuberance for the products, vendors and the people I was meeting carried me through that first 15 months. Since then, I have learned a great deal about the retail business and its many challenges; grown the store to 2600 square feet in its current Belmar location and continued to feed and share my passion for design and the creative community that this store reaches. I have a lot more to say and share, but right now there is a website to launch.
Arago: People, Postage & the Post
by sbrothier
The online database of the National Postal Museum, Arago™, was named in honor of the French physicist, astronomer and politician, François Arago (1786-1853). A friend of James Smithson (benefactor of the Smithsonian Institution), Arago believed that science and available technologies should be used to advance public knowledge and improve everyday life. Renowned as a scientist, he was also a humanitarian who used his political roles to introduce social reforms – the abolition of slavery, universal manhood suffrage, and the education of the lower classes – not only in France but also in its colonial possessions.

by karlcow
review four leaner, lower-cost (or free) options from four high-powered indie Mac developers: DrawBerry, EazyDraw, Lineform, and VectorDesigner. Unlike Illustrator, all of these use Mac OS X's built-in Core Image foundation, which makes them very easy to compare to each other.
Patrick Roberts's Blog
by karlcow
imagine a process as a tree-shaped (or graph-shaped) assembly line. Inputs flow in through the leaves and are transformed, filtered or reduced where branches join. This well represents lazy-functional programming. Say one wants the words from a line-delimited file, excluding acronyms, then converted to lower case and stored in a set for quick lookup.

What is OpenID and how can you apply it? | Kabatology ~ Open Source, Linux
by parmentierf
“OpenID means the elimination of multiple user names and passwords and a smoother, more secure, online experience. For businesses, this means a lower cost of password or account management, the opportunity for easier and higher numbers of new user registrations and the elimination of missed transactions because of user frustration with lost and forgotten passwords. OpenID allows for innovation in the authentication space beyond just using a password to “unlock” your OpenID identity, but the ability to strongly protect your OpenID and have that benefit move with you everywhere you go online.”

ScreencastTeam/RecordingScreencasts - Ubuntu Wiki
by camel
& 1 other
This is how I make screencasts. They come out fairly well. There are of course other ways to make them, this is just the way that I have found is best. You can see some examples of the screencasts I have made with this procedure at [WWW] http://screencasts.ubuntu.com .
All this was done on an Intel Core 2 Duo PC with 2GB of RAM, running Ubuntu Edgy (6.10) or Feisty (7.04). It is of course possible to do this on a lower spec machine but there may be difficulties on very low spec machines.
